These chocolate waffles were amazing. I've been craving them ever since I made them last week. I also like that they're very light, but you don't have to beat the egg whites separately. I didn't make the berry sauce; I served them with melted chocolate chips instead.

This apple cake was so-so. It was a bit too heavy and not sweet enough for me.

I tried making these tortillas, but they weren't what I was looking for. After some research, I've decided that if I ever want to make our own tortillas, I'll have to buy a tortilla maker, or at least a press. Rolling them out is a big pain.

We recently invested in a tortilla press, and it is much faster. I wouldn't say that I can get them much thinner with it than with a rolling pin, which is what I was hoping for, but they are much rounder and it goes way faster. But don't order one online or from amazon, they're pretty overpriced. Check around for a Mexican market in your area. We only paid about $7-$8 for ours at a boteca in St. Louis. You'll find great deals on masa and beans as well!
